My thought now is that Oda surely is not suddenly so hopelessly incompetent as to not at least give Kaido an Awakened Zoan fruit. He will use that and defeat Luffy, who until now has fought VERY impressively, frighteningly so. He is a young Yonkou level fighter. Now that he has begun using Conqueror's Haki in a useful fashion, it is but a matter of time before he can fight offensively on the scale to solo an emperor. He just isn't this time.

What will likely happen is that, now that Hawkins has realized a new path is open, and he is wounded, he will join the Raiders in their escape. The Marines will deem it ripe to invade Wano. The Revs will interfere, possibly, and stop CP0 from fighting. I don't want to derail the topic, but Rob Lucci is present and if Bellamy, a throwaway enemy, got a legit full-power rematch with Luffy, then sure as hell Lucci deserves it. And he was one of Luffy's most vicious battles.

Point is, there's going to be stuff preoccupying Kaido and Big Mom after the Alliance flees the scene. They have inflicted vast amounts of damage and to top it off surely pulled of a mass defection of dissatisfied Beast Pirates plus mind controlled Gifters. The Pleasures and a few others are likely all that will be left, besides maybe a couple All-Stars and die-hard Headliners. I doubt the tobi Roppo will even stay loyal. Maybe one or two... at best. If they are even alive. Robin has killed before (Yama), so I don''t know if maybe Black Maria is gone for good, if only for the flames.

The final match with Kaido will likely be with Kidd, Law, Hawkins, Drake, Zoro and Luffy, assuming Zoro isn't going to be fighting someone else. At this rate Kanjuro is a one-man army and his fruit is godly. Wouldn't surprise me if he just draws a legit Oden or Ryuuma, steels Shusui and one of Oden's swords, and Zoro must use Wado Ichimonji to slay them. Or maybe he just draws a pair of freaking Kaido dragons in high-detail. They wouldn't be as powerful but he could draw like... as many as he wants, right? It is a shame he died so easily. He should have been making armies and staying in the background until maybe ninja'd or sniped. Would give Nami, Ussop and Raizo something to do.

Anyway, the Supernovas will gang up on Kaido after the Raid fails. Hawkins will maybe make some kind of connection via his powers with Kaido, and then use the straw man to damage Kaido enough so that he is actually in a state in which he can be exhausted. Killing him seems like something either Big Mom, Myself, or the Marines will do.

This all assumes Oda isn't just tired. Because if he doesn't give Kaido an Awakened form, I do seriously doubt Luffy will lose again, or be forced to retreat with the others. In which case there'd be no reason for Kaido to stick around as a villain. he was the worst written in the ENTIRE series. Even Don Kreig was more interesting and fulfilling. And Wapol more despicable.

Jack showed awakened Zoan powers in this raid itself. No way Kaido doesnt show them. Kaido will. He is the strongest Zoan (unofficially atleast).

I want the raid to fail, but I doubt it will happen. Apparently the series is about to finish in 5 years? There isn't much time
Oda clarified in a later SBS that he meant 5 years only till reaching Laughtale. The Set up to the Final war & the Final war after that itself would easily take another 2 years i think. Point is Oda didnt count the final war in his calculation. He said this himself.

Not even that. He said the "juicy part" will be over by then. Meaning it will by then have become clear what this is all about.

Since I already do know, I can confirm that's actually quite ambitious. It's been half a year now since I've realized, but no one did follow. I wonder how much time is actually left.

I reread SBS 97 where this was mentioned. It said like :- 5 years until "the most exciting part -> What is One Piece? ". So i assumed that Oda meant Laughtale coz that is where we will get to know all the mysteries of the OP world including the OP itself. (Roger & oden learnt everything in Laughtale after all).

Conclusion :-
I think that 5 years until Laughtale gets wrapped up. (All mysteries & lores of the OP world including OP treasure itself will be all known by then).
2 more years maybe for the final war.

So 7 years till OP ends. But in real life Oda will miss his deadline by 6 months or more atleast.

When was the first time Oda said that Op will be over in 5 years ? I mean in which year did he say that ?

Its not happening, too much foreshadowing of this being Luffy's final match against Kaidou. Plus its always the way Luffy's go, Luffy looses twice than wins the third time. Oda is slowly finishing off all the side battles than end the monster trios fights..Why else go back to Killer vs Hawkin's and show get rid of Apoo / Drake. Oda just wants to get the heck out of Wano LOL. Will see if Big Mom fights over next officially. Than all that's left is the monster trio of the Strawhat's.
